Your 2003 Ford Windstar: the work
Book collision repair for the 2003 Ford Windstar, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What happens after you ask
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
How long you are without it
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
What goes into a quote
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
Before you drop the car off
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.

A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
